Hosea 6:5-7
Complete Jewish Bible
5 This is why I have cut them to pieces by the prophets,
slaughtered them with the words from my mouth —
the judgment on you shines out like light.
6 For what I desire is mercy, not sacrifices,
knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 “But they, just like men, have broken the covenant,
they have been faithless in dealing with me.

I killed you with the words of my mouth(A)—

and acknowledgment(D) of God rather than burnt offerings.(E)
7 As at Adam,[b] they have broken the covenant;(F)
they were unfaithful(G) to me there.
